ASP D Region Tomahawk Build, Part 13, New Fin Plates

I looked back at the Estes Tomahawk instructions and Peter Alway's Rockets Of The World for more information on the fin plate shape.
The plates are slightly raised above the body tube so I decided to print them on 60 lb. card stock. This lighter card stock will also allow the plates to be folded and glued into the root edges.






Below: 1" reference lines were added to the kit decals. The decals were scanned and dropped into Corel Draw.

Above: The outside lines were .5 width. The 3 ridge "flats" were drawn with gray lines. This will visually imply the raised sections.
